Hypertable

<ul>
<li>Free and open-source software portal</li></ul>
Hypertable was an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source software</a> project to implement a <a href="/facts/Database_management_system/VYcpkevb">database management system</a> inspired by publications on the design of <a href="/facts/Google/GT9Sugza">Google</a>'s <a href="/facts/Bigtable/xlXLKV0t">Bigtable</a>. 
Hypertable runs on top of a distributed file system such as the Apache <a href="/facts/Hadoop/oUS1G2R7">HDFS</a>, <a href="/facts/GlusterFS/sVzz6ERY">GlusterFS</a> or the <a href="/facts/CloudStore/EIW80rlM">CloudStore</a> Kosmos File System (KFS). It is written almost entirely in <a href="/facts/C%252B%252B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a> as the developers believed it had significant performance advantages over <a href="/facts/Java_(software)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a>.
Hypertable software was originally developed at the company Zvents before 2008.
Doug Judd was a promoter of Hypertable.
In January 2009, <a href="/facts/Baidu/VgAx7Pfu">Baidu</a>, the Chinese language <a href="/facts/Search_engine/SRntsbz2">search engine</a>, became a project sponsor.
A version 0.9.2.1 was described in a blog in February, 2009.
Development ended in March, 2016.
